Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 290 Joseph's betrayal

After dinner in the meeting room, Adel did not continue to discuss the assassination plan with Boyne, Morais, and Diaz. Instead, he greeted him and left alone, carefully bypassing the patrolling troops during the curfew, and came to Arrived at the place where I met Joseph secretly last time.

  The cavalry camp is closely guarded, and it is too risky for Adel to try to sneak in, so for the time being, I still need to trouble Joseph to adjust part of the patrol in the cavalry camp, so as to create a chance for Adel to come in and meet safely.

"Our side is preparing various plans in an orderly manner. Among them, the main tasks of assassinating Pissel, pushing the corps to defect, and slowly controlling Laizein have all entered the operational stage." As soon as he met Joseph, Adel explained the situation straight to the point for a moment.

   "When are you going to assassinate Pissel?" Joseph asked sullenly.

   "No accident, No. 22." Adel noticed that Joseph's appearance seemed a little different from the day before yesterday.

  Joseph sat on the sofa, the ashtray in front of him was full of ash: "Tell me about your specific layout."

Adel sat across from Joseph by himself: "When Pissel went to the government building for morning meetings every day, he followed a fixed route. That road has a clear view, which is not conducive to our assassination and evacuation, so we thought found a way to lure him to take another path with relatively complicated surroundings..."

   After hearing Adel's thoughts, Joseph was secretly surprised.

  They met on the night of the 17th, and it has only been two days since the night of the 19th. In two days, a relatively complete assassination plan that he couldn't find any problems was born.

   This speed is indeed fast enough, and most importantly, Joseph has made preparations for them to ask themselves for help.

  As the head of the cavalry regiment, he is Pissel's number one officer. He is not only responsible for part of Pissel's security work, but also knows their internal defense mobilization information best.

   It is a matter of course to seek help from yourself. After all, no one will give up a lot of help and have to take the most difficult path.

   But now the Equality Association is gone, and the purpose is obvious. They want to do this alone, so that they can see their strength, instead of asking for their help to assassinate a person.

   Joseph's heart changed again.

"So you should hurry up and make some preparations that you should do. When Pissel died on the morning of the 22nd, you will be the first person in the Laizein garrison. There are five regiments in Laizein, tens of thousands The soldiers will obey your orders." Adel said.

   "Can the time be moved forward?" Joseph leaned on the sofa with cold eyes.

   "You mean the time to assassinate Pissel?" Adel couldn't keep up with Joseph's train of thought for a while.

Joseph was still a little vacillating in his previous conversations. He never took the initiative to mention the assassination of Pissel, but today he took the initiative to mention this matter, and he also intends to kill Pissel in advance, which shows that he is more on the side of the Equality Society. A little bit.

"right."

   "I guess it can't be brought forward." Adel shook his head.

"why?"

   "The Equality Association is currently fighting on multiple fronts and is short of manpower. We need information support from the Intelligence Department."

  Joseph saw the crux of the problem: "So it was because of the lack of information support that you delayed until the 22nd? If there is no such problem, how long can you advance?"

  Adel knew that this was what Joseph meant to provide support: "It's because of this, and if there is information now, it should be able to advance to the 21st."

   "On the 21st... In this way, you only have one day tomorrow to make preparations, are you sure?" Joseph was worried about whether the Equality Conference could be achieved.

   "You want to provide intelligence support?"

"Yes."

"Why? It feels like your attitude was vague the day before yesterday. Why are you so determined to kill Pissel today?" Adel was curious about this. He speculated that something might have happened in the army that stimulated Joseph, or that Joseph suddenly Figured out something.

   Joseph laughed at himself: "If I don't kill him, I will be completely destroyed by him as a pawn."

"What happened?"

"François and Wellland had a secret contact and reached a cooperation. They will jointly send troops to expedition to the Bash Empire in the near future. For Pissel, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make military exploits and gain military power. But Francois Sowa transferred him back to Laizein to garrison in the hope that he could wipe out the Equality Society. If he failed to do this before the expedition, he would not be able to leave Laizein as the commander of the expeditionary force." Joseph held on patiently Out of his own anger and chill, he explained the cause of the matter as calmly as possible.

  Adel narrowed his eyes: "So in the days to come, Pissel will do everything possible to destroy the Equality Society?"

"Yes." Joseph sighed, "but it's not that simple. Francois doesn't have absolute trust in Pissel, and he wants everything to be stable when he is about to restore the monarchy, so the expedition is for him to re-support a military force. , the best chance to check and balance Pissel."

   "In this way, regardless of whether Pissel can destroy the Equality Society during this period of time, Francois will be profitable." Adel had to admire Francois' methods. His Excellency the President has been doing things for so long, and basically everything is good for him no matter which side he turns to. He has truly established himself as invincible.

"Pisel doesn't want to see this situation, so he wants to push me out as a pawn." Joseph said, "He plans to kick me out of the cavalry regiment, and the vacant position of cavalry regiment commander will be used to make friends with the dignitaries. After that, he pretended to break with me, and if he failed to become the commander of the expeditionary force, he would support me to grab this position."

"Let's not talk about whether you can gain the trust of Francois and become the commander of the expeditionary force." Adel, like Joseph at the time, saw through it at a glance, "If he succeeds in destroying the Equality Society before the expedition, he can be the Commander-in-Chief, can you go back?"

"Impossible, I am worthless compared to the dignitaries who can support him to become the commander-in-chief. I am just a **** for him to ensure that his own interests will not be damaged. It is nothing more than raising a person with no background like me to this day. I’m better controlled by him than the powerful.” Joseph was very clear about the reason why Pissel promoted him to be the commander of the cavalry regiment and the result of this matter.

Adel was silent for a few seconds: "But having survived tenaciously for so long, the possibility that the deep-rooted equality will be wiped out by Pissel before the expedition is very slim. You never thought that you would really obey him, from a chess piece to Francois's My confidant, are you on an equal footing with him in the army?"

"Do you think someone like Pissel will really let me go and make me a threat to him? He will definitely use all means to give me a handle, continue to control me, and sacrifice me in exchange for greater benefits one day in the future. So In fact, having come to this point, there is no need to be a **** under his hands anymore." Joseph snorted coldly, and no longer expected Pissel or the current life.

"...That's right, François, Pissel, are no different from other mercenary dignitaries. They use each other, and now they want to use us. We will no longer be their pawns, and use our lives as their boarding pieces. Up the higher steps."

"So, if I give you the information, can I guarantee to kill Pissel on the 21st? If it takes a little longer, I will most likely be kicked out of the regiment by him, and then I will really lose the chance of revenge .”

   "No problem, the main problem of the plan has been solved, and one day is enough."

   "If you fail in the assassination, Pissel will very likely suspect me, and it will still be beyond redemption, so I need you to succeed 100%." ​​Joseph was a little worried.

Adel comforted: "Failure is of no benefit to the Equality Association, so you can rest assured about this matter. In addition, you should also know something about those people in the Equality Association. Everyone is not afraid of death and can give their lives for their ideals. Necessary Sometimes, even at the cost of sacrificing themselves, they will guarantee Pissel's death."

"That's good. I've prepared all the information in the afternoon. You can study and study what is useful and what is not. If you need help in other aspects, you can always come to me. Although I can't make it to today without the promotion of Pissel, But there are also a group of cronies who are extremely loyal to me." Joseph pushed the thick file bag prepared on the table towards Adel.

  Adel opened the file bag, took out a stack of information inside and briefly looked through it, including the precise patrol location and patrol time of the patrol guards, as well as detailed troop distribution maps and so on.

   These are exactly what they need urgently. With these, they can save the work of the intelligence department, and can directly prepare to destroy the road that Pissel has been walking on and arrange sniper points.

   "These are very good, just what we need." Adel stuffed the information back into the portfolio with satisfaction.

   "Then you should hurry up and do it. I will try my best to delay Pissel so that he does not implement this plan so quickly." Joseph pinned his hope of changing the situation on the Equality Society.

   "Yes." Adel put away the file bag and got up.

   Joseph then stood up: "Will you also go to the assassination?"

   "Of course, as I said, I will kill him with my own hands to avenge the dead brothers." Both the Equality Association and Joseph are fully promoting the assassination plan, and the hatred that has accumulated in Adel's heart for more than 20 years can finally be vented. He will not let go of this opportunity to let himself officially walk out of the darkness and guilt.

"…be careful."

   "Don't worry." Adel nodded slightly at Joseph, showing an inevitable smile, "See you tomorrow night."

   "Yeah." After sending Adel out the door, Joseph returned to the sofa to lie down alone, thinking about a new future.

  —

  Equality Association Terminus

  At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Morais, Diaz and others did not rest, waiting patiently for Adel to come back.

  In the quiet conference room, both of them remained silent. Morais closed his eyes and meditated, and Diaz repeatedly checked the details marked on the map.

  Suddenly, a rush of footsteps approached.

  Morais slowly opened his eyes, and Diaz also turned to look at the door.

"boom!"

  Following the sound of footsteps arriving outside the conference room, the door of the conference room was pushed open vigorously.

   "Great opportunity!" After running around all day, Adel was emotional and did not feel sleepy at all.

   "What's the matter?" Seeing Adel's rare change of expression, Morais and Diaz also became more energetic, and walked over quickly to ask.

"Pissel and Francois have a conflict of interest, and Joseph has also been affected. He has officially turned to us this time..." Adel told Morais and Diaz what happened to Joseph today, " ...So he has nowhere to go, if he doesn't join us, he will only be used by Pissel forever."

   "As soon as his attitude is clear, this matter will basically be done!" Morais was also overjoyed.

  What they were most worried about was that Joseph did not vote for the Equality Association in the end. If he doesn't vote, the Equal Council won't have to talk about controlling Laizein at all. Now that Joseph has made his attitude clear, he has been forced to stand on the same front with them, and he has also recognized the status quo and essence. There is no need to worry about this matter.

   After Pissel is successfully assassinated, the initial layout of the Equality Society will be completed, and it will only be a matter of time before most of the plans will succeed.

"Besides, he is running out of time, and he may be kicked out of the corps by Pissel at any time. We must assassinate Pissel as soon as possible, otherwise it will be meaningless to do this after he is kicked out." Adel walked quickly to the map , tear up the original map.

   "But the Ministry of Intelligence—"

"There is no need for the Intelligence Department." Adel interrupted Diaz, took out the file bag that Joseph gave him, distributed the information inside to the two, and spread a brand new map on the table, "Joseph With all the intelligence in place, we now have information readily available."

"This solves our big trouble." Morais and Diaz glanced at the detailed information book, and surrounded Adel in front of the new map, "It can also make the intelligence department easier. "

  The defense distribution of the garrison on the new map is clearly recorded. They only need to find omissions in this defense distribution and work out a route that can avoid the patrolling troops, and the last problem will be solved.

"I made a promise with him. In order to compete with Pissel for time, we will complete the assassination on the 21st." Adel said, "So we have to destroy the road tomorrow and set up the sniper spot, and the morning after tomorrow Make sure to kill Pierce."

   "It's okay to have the information one day in advance." Morais has no objection to this, "But everyone, don't even think about resting tonight, we have a lot of things to plan before dawn."

  Diaz was the first to say: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

   "Of course the assassination is important." Adel could not rest assured to sleep.

   "Okay..." Adel looked at the new map marked with dense information, "Then we will work out the evacuation route tonight and solve all the problems. We will set up traps on the ground tomorrow and assassinate Pissel the day after tomorrow."
